TAB in text fields

This is bothering me for years and perhaps someone knows the answer.

 

How do I insert TAB in text fields in sketch symbol in drawing?

 

I would like to be easily able to align text and for that common is to use TAB, but I have no way of using it in text in text fields. 

Is there a way to have this? 

 

sample use case below.

That would be neat in a way, but for that kind of information I'd use the General Table and then use Styles for formatting:

I have been able to successfully use "Ctrl-Tab", acts just like Tab outside the text editor and moves the spacing consistently, although sometimes the note in the drawing needs adjusted as the spacing in the editor does not visually match the note.

That's a good tip, it seems to work.
